11.1 What training should a person take first?
The first action a person should take in his Scientology
training is to read a book, such as _Dianetics: The
Modern Science of Mental Health_ or _Scientology: The
Fundamentals of Thought_. He can study these on an
extension course which is designed to help people
understand the basic fundamentals of L. Ron Hubbard's
books and find out about Scientology for themselves. The
lessons in the course are completed and mailed in to the
Extension Course Supervisor who grades them and informs
the student by return mail what his grade is and any
parts of the book he may have misunderstood.
After completing a book or extension course, he should go
into a church and see one of the Public Division
Registrars who can help him decide which course he should
do next. There are many different services available. For
instance, many Life Improvement Courses exist, on such
subjects as marriage, children, work, relationships with
others and personal integrity. These help a person move
from effect to cause in a specific area of life. Or there
is the Hubbard Dianetics Seminar which utilizes Dianetics
auditing techniques based on _Dianetics: The Modern
Science of Mental Health_, providing as much Dianetics
auditing to a person as he wants and giving him
experience applying Dianetics to another. There is also
the Success Through Communication Course which teaches
the basic communication skills one needs to succeed in
social or other situations.
Factually, it is best to talk to someone to find out
which of the many courses available is addressed most
directly to what one wants to handle or improve in life.
